Nov 17 at 18:29 comment added Sasha @OliGregory: thanks for the references!
Nov 16 at 20:03 comment added Oli Gregory @PiotrAchinger: My notes say that Proposition 3.1 of K. Coombes "The $K$-cohomology of Enriques surfaces", Contemp. Math 126, (1992) proves this for Chow motives with $\mathbb{Z}[1/2]$-coefficients, though I haven't had time to double check. There is also some generalisation (but only with $\mathbb{Q}$-coefficients ) in the recent paper D. Kawabe, "Chow motives of genus one fibrations", Manuscripta Math. 175 (2024).
Nov 16 at 11:54 comment added Sasha @PiotrAchinger: Anyway, thanks for the reference!
Nov 16 at 7:19 comment added Piotr Achinger @Sasha my notes say it's in Bloch-Kas-Lieberman "Zero cycles on surfaces with $p_g=0$" (Compositio 1976). But now looking at that paper I am not so sure anymore. They do construct a correspondence between an Enriques and the relative Jacobian of its elliptic fibration, and then show the latter is a rational surface (presumably it then has to be the blowup of $\mathbf{P}^2$ at the intersection of two cubics?). But the paper is about zero-cycles and the statement is preserved by birational equivalence, one would have to check what it says about Chow motives.
Nov 16 at 4:15 comment added naf @DanielLoughran: This is conjectured to be true, but I don't think it has actually been proved (at least in the category of Chow motives). Also, this does not hold integrally for any fake projective plane.
Nov 16 at 4:11 comment added naf The coefficients you want to use in the definition of motive should be specified, since for a particular example the motives could be isomorphic rationally but not integrally.
Nov 15 at 21:17 comment added Sasha @PiotrAchinger: Can you give a reference to a construction of such a cycle?
Nov 15 at 17:52 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn And conversely, birational varieties rarely have isomorphic motives (or even isomorphic cohomology). The two problems are pretty different in general.
Nov 15 at 17:12 comment added Piotr Achinger Or an Enriques surface vs. a blowup of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at nine points... Here there is even a known construction of an isomorphism in the category of Chow motives (an explicit algebraic cycle on the product).
Nov 15 at 14:46 comment added Daniel Loughran A counter-example is given by fake projective planes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_projective_plane
